I guess this might not be, strictly speaking, a spoiler, but it sure looks like one to me. And I haven't followed the link yet.
Grr.

Yes, but the show aired almost three full days ago. I gotta think at that point in the game you're taking your own life into your hands.

If I said "Ken and his trophy" would that have been less of a spoiler.

Somehow KenJen has this weird sense of humor.

By reading the post, yes. By following the link, definitely. But in this case, the very-nearly-spoiler was in the SUBJECT LINE. Of the Big Board--not even Show Summaries. I wasn't supposed to stay off the board entirely, was I?
I know it took a while for me to see the video--and it's not as if it was entirely spoiled; I enjoyed watching the gameplay even knowing how it turned out. This might be considered b*tching just to b*tch, but I thought it was worth pointing out.

No, but as Chris L. said, three days after the show first airs is not unreasonable for a post to show up in the main forum. If you're opting not or unable to watch a show until that far after the fact, those are the breaks of the game.

I remember a certain individual (not a member of this forum) whining back in ATGS that he and others wouldn't get to their tapes for several weeks, and therefore people should withhold spoilers until then. I wouldn't classify Clay's complaint as anywhere near that ridiculous, but yeah, after a while the rest of the world does move ahead.
And to opimus: if you mention "trophy," that pretty much implies an outcome — so while you didn't do anything wrong by posting it several days afterward, yeah, it's a spoiler.
